When Shiv-Hari asked Amitabh Bachchan to sing the song ‘Rang Barse‘ from the movie Silsila, somewhere down the line they must have imagined that the song would be played all over the world during the Holi celebrations. ‘Rang barse‘ is one of those songs which will always be remembered for the sheer enjoyment that it brings to your ears, by music kept low, and lyrics kept on the high! Yes! On the high, because the way the lines of ‘Rang barse‘ from Silsila express the fooling around of bhaang toxicated carziness, they just create a lasting impression, and that too a fun one. ‘Rang barse‘ is a song which is pure fun. And now, we recommend that you too go ahead, and soak in the spirirt of the song too!

Please play Holi with natural colours, and refrain from using any type of dyes, grease and water balloons, as these can cost you a lot, and please protect your eyes well. We hope you have a safe and smiling Holi
